But a jury at the High Court in Edinburgh convicted him on a majority verdict in February 2025 of committing the sex crime during which he grabbed the woman, removed her lower clothing, licked her ear and raped her. Marc died after being gunned down outside a pub in Edinburgh ahead of the Bells on Hogmanay 2023. He had taunted enemies on social media in the lead up to his death. Three people are due to stand trial over the shooting of Marc, outside a pub in Edinburgh's West Granton Road. Grant Hunter, 33, Emma McVie, 26, and Gary Robertson, 21, deny the charges.
